lyrics
Stay on track and get off my back
Don’t want to hear about the things I lack
Because I’ve been contemplating all my life
So what you think you know won’t set me back.
Why’d you contradict what you said and you did
But you won’t admit that in the end it wasn’t worth it.
I feel fine learning how to be on my own.
I won’t lie, it was bound to happen in the end.
It’s not enough to call my bluff so stop acting so tough.
You made smooth seas feel so rough, feel so rough.
You should know by now that I’m not here to row.
I’m here to take what’s mine, my peace of mind.
I said the same thing yesterday knowing that the pain won’t fade away
It’s a bitter pill to swallow so I’ll self medicate to tame my sorrow.
Well it’s happened again but I’m too proud to admit
That the bitterness is loneliness trapped under the surface.
It’s not enough to call my bluff so stop acting so tough.
You made smooth seas feel so rough, feel so rough.
You should know by now that I’m not here to row.
I’m here to take what’s mine, my peace of mind.
My peace of mind, my peace of mind.
I should have known not to come here
I’m gonna go, I’ll disappear.
The mess we made won’t clear.
I feel fine learning how to be on my own.
I won’t lie, it was bound to happen in the end.
It’s not enough to call my bluff so stop acting so tough.
You made smooth seas feel so rough, feel so rough.
You should know by now that I’m not here to row.
I’m here to take what’s mine, my peace of mind
Don’t want to hear about the things I lack
Because I’ve been contemplating all my life
So what you think you know won’t set me back.
Why’d you contradict what you said and you did
But you won’t admit that in the end it wasn’t worth it.
I feel fine learning how to be on my own.
I won’t lie, it was bound to happen in the end.
It’s not enough to call my bluff so stop acting so tough.
You made smooth seas feel so rough, feel so rough.
You should know by now that I’m not here to row.
I’m here to take what’s mine, my peace of mind.
I said the same thing yesterday knowing that the pain won’t fade away
It’s a bitter pill to swallow so I’ll self medicate to tame my sorrow.
Well it’s happened again but I’m too proud to admit
That the bitterness is loneliness trapped under the surface.
It’s not enough to call my bluff so stop acting so tough.
You made smooth seas feel so rough, feel so rough.
You should know by now that I’m not here to row.
I’m here to take what’s mine, my peace of mind.
My peace of mind, my peace of mind.
I should have known not to come here
I’m gonna go, I’ll disappear.
The mess we made won’t clear.
I feel fine learning how to be on my own.
I won’t lie, it was bound to happen in the end.
It’s not enough to call my bluff so stop acting so tough.
You made smooth seas feel so rough, feel so rough.
You should know by now that I’m not here to row.
I’m here to take what’s mine, my peace of mind

This rapidly rose to become one of my favourite albums, and has been on repeat since hearing it. A constant theme runs throughout which makes this an album, not just a collection of songs in a way I haven't heard before. Classic pop-punk sing-alongs, hardcore screaming, along with some synth (!) sections - Its such a mix, but it comes together so well. Picking a favourite song does the whole album a disservice - its a package deal. Treat yourself to a listen.

Letters To Our Former Selves
by Youth Fountainsupported by 8 fans who also own “Peace Of Mind”
Thanks for helping me get through separating with the first person I had a real relationship with. Manages to be excellent sad pop punk a la The Story So Far except with an actual singer and lyrics that aren’t misogynistic like TSSF and so many bands of that cohort.
